I just recently found out that Valve's Gordon Freeman from Half Life is modeled after my teacher. I had always joked about they looked alike, with the beard and the glasses and so on and so forth. But just yesterday he told me that he worked with Valve on the first half life and that they (needing an idea for Gordon's appearance) decided to model it after him. His name's in the credits too, which proves it.

'The name Gordon Freeman was coined by Gabe Newell during a conversation with Marc Laidlaw in his car. It included a homage to the physicist and philosopher Freeman Dyson. Newell disliked Laidlaw's proposed name, "Dyson Poincaré", which also included the surname of Henri Poincaré. The texture for Gordon's head was "too big of a job for just one person", so Valve designers combined references from four people. An earlier model of Gordon, known as "Ivan the Space Biker," had a full beard that was subsequently trimmed. Other iterations of Gordon's concept featured different glasses, a ponytail, and a helmet.' EDIT: Gordon Freeman was originally designed by Dhabih Eng and Chuck Jones, while the Half-Life 2 model was made by Dhabih Eng only. The face for that model was made out of the faces of several Valve employees morphed together, such as David Speyrer, Eric Kirchmer, Greg Coomer and Kelly Bailey. Of note is that while Freeman has several GoldSrc models available, no official Source model was ever released.
